 These were sold in 1917 to raise money to help out the poor folks, knowing his history of ole Henry's political views and sympathies. I wonder how much of the money made it to the poor folks. They were made in 6 different metals all the same obverse, blank reverse.

According to this guy they weren't struck until 1963. So I guess the poor folks of 1917 didn't get anything. https://forums.(150827) Not Allowed - Auto Removed/discussion/898437/henry-fords-help-the-other-fellow-cents Google didn't bring that one up when I checked but that would make more sense since the war was on. Either way the folks that needed the money never got it because, who ever bought the dies probably called it profit!
